∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24
Now, list down the factors of 240
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,40,48,60,80,120,240
Now, list down the factors of 264
:1,2,3,4,6,8,11,12,22,24,33,44,66,88,132,264
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 240,264 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 240,264 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,316
2 | 94, 316 |
47, 158 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 47 x 158 = 14852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/14852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/94,264/316 is 24/14852
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 94,316 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,316) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(94,316) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(94,316) = ( 94 × 316 ) / 2
LCM(94,316) = 29704 / 2
LCM(94,316) = 14852
